I need a qualified residential fire-sprinkler designer to revise an existing NFPA 13D system for a new single-family house and ADU in San Diego County, California. The existing fire-sprinkler plans and hydraulic calculations were prepared using a 1-1/4″ supply pipe and the riser at the southeast corner. The project conditions have changed: The dedicated fire-sprinkler supply pipe will be 1″. The riser is being relocated to a new location shown on the architectural site plan. The new riser is approximately 89′ from the fire-sprinkler valve at the water meter. The site has approximately a 15′ elevation drop from the meter to the riser. The 1″ supply pipe will pass through the footing inside a 2″ PVC sleeve. The riser cabinet will be installed directly above the footing penetration. The proposed cabinet is approximately 14″ wide × 48″ high, located inside the crawl space with an exterior access door facing east. Required work: Review the existing fire-sprinkler plans, architectural plans and previous calculations. Redesign the supply and riser routing for the new riser location. Perform new NFPA 13D hydraulic calculations using the actual 1″ supply pipe, 89′ approximate run and 15′ elevation drop. Confirm whether the 1″ supply provides adequate flow and pressure. Do not assume that it is adequate. Revise Sheets F2R and F3R, including the floor plans, riser diagram, pipe sizes, routing, notes and calculations. Coordinate the fire-sprinkler plans with the latest architectural plans. Provide the revised PDF and editable AutoCAD/DWG source files. Include reasonable corrections required by San Diego County plan review. The final plans and calculations must be suitable for submission to San Diego County. Please state whether you personally hold a California C-16 Fire Protection Contractor license or a California professional engineering license. If another California-licensed professional will sign the plans, identify that person and include the signing/stamping cost in your bid. Please provide examples of residential NFPA 13D plans and hydraulic calculations previously completed for projects in California.

Hello, I can review the existing NFPA 13D sprinkler drawings, architectural plans and hydraulic calculations and revise the system for the new supply and riser conditions. The redesign will specifically account for the actual **1" dedicated sprinkler supply**, approximately **89 ft of supply piping**, and the approximately **15 ft elevation drop** from the water meter to the new riser location. I will not assume that the 1" supply is adequate; the available flow and pressure will be verified through the revised hydraulic calculations. ### Scope • Review existing F2R/F3R plans and previous calculations • Coordinate the new riser location with the architectural plans • Redesign supply and riser routing • Update pipe sizes, routing, notes and riser diagram • Account for the 2" PVC sleeve through the footing • Coordinate the proposed 14" × 48" riser cabinet and crawl-space access • Perform revised NFPA 13D hydraulic calculations • Verify pressure/flow adequacy of the 1" supply • Incorporate reasonable corrections identified during plan review • Deliver revised PDF and editable AutoCAD/DWG files I can provide relevant NFPA 13D residential sprinkler samples and hydraulic calculation examples for review where available. Once I receive the existing F2R/F3R drawings, calculations and latest architectural plans, I can review the complete package and confirm the exact scope, turnaround and fee. Best regards,

The main risk is accommodating the reduced 1" supply pipe and new riser location, so I will re-draw the sprinkler layout and redo the hydraulic calculations to meet NFPA 13D standards with the revised pressure and flow constraints. I will build the revised design in AutoCAD, producing accurate plans showing the new riser and pipe runs, and I will perform the necessary hydraulic calculations to confirm system adequacy for your single-family house and ADU. What is the exact location and elevation of the water meter relative to the property line? I need the latest architectural site plan. I have a 5.0 rating across 10 reviews on here, and Preferred Freelancer status, which means the logistics hub layout I finalised in AutoCAD was on time and on budget with very accurate design work.

Hello, this is Bojan. Thanks for sharing the project. I want to be upfront: although I work in software development, backend systems, automation, and embedded engineering, I don’t specialize in NFPA 13D fire‑sprinkler design, hydraulic calculations, or revising permit‑ready plans for California jurisdictions. This work requires a licensed fire‑protection professional familiar with NFPA 13D, San Diego County requirements, hydraulic modeling, pipe sizing, elevation adjustments, and stamped AutoCAD plan sets — skills outside my scope. Since you need someone who can redesign the system, run accurate hydraulic calculations, coordinate architectural updates, and deliver county‑compliant stamped drawings, a specialist in residential fire‑sprinkler engineering will serve you much better. I don’t want to take on a role that depends on regulated design expertise I don’t provide. If you ever need help with technical workflow planning or automation strategy, I can assist — but I’m not the right fit for NFPA 13D redesign and hydraulic calculations.

Hi, NFPA 13D redesign requires the sprinkler layout and hydraulic calculations to work together so the final system is both accurate and properly documented. I can revise the existing fire-sprinkler design, update sprinkler locations and piping, and prepare the required hydraulic calculation documentation based on the project requirements. I’ll carefully review the existing plans, pipe sizes, sprinkler coverage, flow requirements, available water supply, and calculation assumptions. Any missing information or conflict in the existing design will be flagged for confirmation rather than assumed. Deliverables: • Revised NFPA 13D sprinkler plan • Updated pipe sizing and layout • Hydraulic calculations • Calculation/plan documents in the required format Please share the existing sprinkler drawings, hydraulic data, and any plan-review comments, and I can review the scope and confirm the required revisions.
